Abstract
"The scientific community has reached an overwhelming consensus that all our anthropogenic activities are damaging and irreparable changes to the global climate. This include increased production of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases raising the planet temperatures in the recent past, as evidenced by receding glaciers, melting icecaps, and record-breaking heat waves as well as too cold winter and too hot summer. Damage control is the need of the hour – But taking into consideration bioethical practices is very much needed at this point of time. So far bioethics has traditionally focused on dilemmas and decisions related to medical field such as interactions among patients, medical professionals, and health care organizations. Topics such as abortion, euthanasia, informed consent, privacy, reproductive health, and access to health care are the bread and butter of bioethics research, education, and consultation in medicine. But the scenario is fast changing both in awareness and in urgency.
